West Seattle scenes: Mini Pow-Wow at Highland Park Elementary

| Highland Park | West Seattle news | West Seattle schools | WS culture/arts

Dancing, drumming, and dinner were part of the festivities last night at Highland Park Elementary, as Native community members, family, and friends gathered for a Traditional Mini Pow Wow. We photographed Duwamish Tribe chair Cecile Hansen after the blessing she gave to open the event:

This was the second year of the event.

The group Niksokowaak – “all my children, all my relatives” – organized the Pow Wow.

We attended both last year and again this year. Great event for the community! I agree with Lawrence that more advertising would help! I just happened to see the signs posted when I drove home last night. This is a wonderful cultural event that I’m sure a lot more West Seattle families would like to be part of.

Sorry, comment time is over.
